KISEKI PURPLE NS your reviews....
https://www.audionirvana.org/forum/the-audio-vault/analog-playback/cartridges/110384-kiseki-cartridg...Sonics are like any good cart at it's price point,subjectively it may even compete with costlier models?Any  product can have bad production run... 
Why are Trolls not blocked
WHAT? Move on, if you can't handle reading nonsense. Don't comment.Now and then, I need a good laugh at the responses. BRING IT! 
some help with speaker placement/purchase
Compromised location. More reason to be mindful that blowing a wad of cash on cool speakers is a bust. You will never hear their potential in your room. You might get satisfactory  results with a less expensive speaker and optimizing with room tre... 
Kuzma Stabi Reference vs Avid Acutus
No DD's?If you're not anti VPI,  I would try and get a listen to the HW40. Why not a change in cart? So many to choose from.I've had a listen to the Actus, very nice. Too many cool tables in the $15-20K range. I always wondered though at this leve... 
TechDAS Disc Stabilizer Series ii
WHAT?! It doesn't come standard with my table?I'm cancelling my order.If I were in that league of audio dude, I wouldn't be without one.7005 Duralumin= not exotic. Just doped 7000 series aluminum. Also used on  performance level bicycle frames. 
High End Audio......Sucking the Romance out of the Music?
What do you expect?Sit in a windowless room, odd looking panels on the wall, and ceiling, devoid of any level of aesthetic, listening to an imaginary setup of musicians that  are "in the room"To make matters worse, the room only has clunky boxes, ... 
Sell your $$$ cables and conditioners... affordable LITHIUM is here!
"Turns out the Yeti wall wart that keep sit topped up had expired. Yeti immediately shipped a warranty replacement, but I had a week without it, my system being powered directly from the wall again.. OMG - horrified and almost unlistenable. It s... 
What's the future for vinyl lovers?
No loss. I buy period presses- pre 1980.Endless music to discover. 
Adjusting speaker positioning. What, if anything, to expect?
Great speakers in a compromised situation. Looks like nice speakers in a living space, like many?Try everything suggested, trusting your ears. No one here, has the answer.Read,and hear other systems.Your speakers deserve a dedicated space with roo... 
Phono's $2100 to $2600
pgastone-I know that feeling of "what to buy?"  Glad i'm done with the madness, and just buy records. Been on the wagon few a couple of years now. Just buy consumables-phono cart and tubes.I tried the Allnic, it's a very nice piece. The latest mod... 
The FULL REVIEW: Inakustik’s AC-3500p power station and LS-4004 Speaker Cables
milpai-High end audio is a combination of some really great, engineered products and marketing. If that same circuit was in a smaller, simple stamped metalbox, I imagine not many will be selling for $3500.00That said, I too have ridiculously  pric... 
Phono's $2100 to $2600
pgastone-I misread your original post. I see you use a PL into the Pass amps. I initially read it as you had a PL amp. Oops. Did you do the tube rolling/power cord stuff?Comparing what you get for your money, the PL raises the bar. An American mad... 
As good as it gets
Hmmm...I would hope anything should sound good, and near what your expecting,pretty much right out of the box?You ears either like what their hearing, or not. If not, move to the next choice?I guess that's a ridiculous premise. 
The FULL REVIEW: Inakustik’s AC-3500p power station and LS-4004 Speaker Cables
milpai-It's performance audio, I "get" that something will be priced for "whatever the market will bear" In the end, it's what the buyer perceives as value.If the inakustic works, great. It's like anything else audio, so I really like to poke fun ... 
The FULL REVIEW: Inakustik’s AC-3500p power station and LS-4004 Speaker Cables
"Actually sells for $3500."$500 more embarrassment.  That Ayre is dissapointing as well. If you it works, power to all the owners.
